Configuring a Portal to Check Email From an Android Device
The following example shows how to set up ActiveSync to check emails from an Android device. Be sure to
replace entries shown in the examples with entries for your environment, and be careful to input the correct
password. Otherwise, the account is blocked.
1 Create a
Domain name
of webmail.example.com. Set the
Active Directory domain
and
Server
address
to webmail.example.com. Set the
Portal name
to webmail.
NOTE:
A user’s credential in the Exchange server must be the same as the one in the SMA/SRA appliance.
Many authentication types are available for each domain in the appliance. If using the Local User
Database, make sure the user name and password is the same as the one for the Exchange server.
Fortunately, other authentication types like Active Directory can share credentials for both the Exchange
server and SMA/SRA appliance. However, authentication using authentication types that share credentials
might take longer and the first ActiveSync request can time out. After authentication succeeds, a session
is created and other requests are not necessary to be authenticated again.
